The CACAONICA RL cooperative, located in the beautiful Waslala region on Nicaragua's northern Caribbean coast, is much more than a group of cacao producers. It is an example of how dedication, collaboration, and effort can transform entire communities.
Since its founding in 2000, CACAONICA has been a pillar in the lives of hundreds of local farmers. With 369 certified producers, the cooperative has established itself as a benchmark in cacao production under agroforestry systems, which is the main sector they serve.
